The kids who get out usually are not in a shape to fight back either mentally or financially and society looks down on them.
The best attempt was Paris Hilton.
Comment on Facebook advertised a professional child kidnapping service to me

I mean, at least sue them or something? It said it existed 40 years.

They are so fucked up when they leave that they don’t have the capacity to do much.
And even so, the institutions are protected. The people who get out “have a track record”.

They also close down and rename all the time for exactly this reason. It makes it awfully hard to do anything when the court records say We Fuck Up Your Kid LLC hasn’t existed for 3 years. There’s also often layers of legal shells that need to be peeled away too - a lot of them hire teens and young adults partly because they don’t know the law and are easy to throw under the bus when someone DOES die, and they’re easy to threaten into silence. That also doesn’t get into the complicity of local LEOs, town and state governments, and just outright lying - my former boyfriend wound up in one before he killed himself, and to everyone on the outside, they were just told it was a mental hospital for teens, thus, anything they told you was a lie.*

Same reason victims of sexual assault struggle to go after the perpetrators.
